Dear Paul,

I totally agree that it is time we moved on to what
Australia is today. However, I would have the date on
when we become a Republic. That would indeed be -
"Australia Day," with a new anthem and flag. And prior to that
we need to recognise our Indigenous people - and give them
a rightful place in our nation's history.

Foxy is deluded as she follows the history of fiction. She believes aboriginals learnt to kill only when settlers came with their guns. That we are still British citizens. This is fiction as The Australia citizen Act came into force on the 26th January 1947 and all born here became citizens of Australia including aboriginals. That is the day all born here became new citizens of Australia [not Britian] are recognized.

Despite objections, parliament passed the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 and it became law on Australia Day, 26 January 1949. The Act created Australian citizenship and the rules for gaining it. All residents born in Australia automatically became citizens. This included all aboriginals. It had nothing to do with Captain Cook and Arthur Philip landing and the settlement at farm Cove.

The fiction was born in 1988 on 26th January when 200 years of history was celebrated on the holiday on the 26th January and the fiction of the landing of captain Cook landing was born. However, Cook never landed in Sydney Harbour. It was because a replica of the endeavour was built and an enactment of a landing, this is fiction.

Josephus,

You have no idea what I believe in so stop making
wrong assumptions. I do not believe that we are
British citizens. And we've been down this route before.
I know about the Australian Citizenship Act - however what
we are - is British SUBJECTS@ There's a difference.
As are all people who are part of the Commonwealth. Out head
of state is a British monarch. Do keep up and get your facts
correct.

Foxy again has shown her ignorance, we are not British subjects, we are not subjects to British laws and Justice. We have the Australian Act that makes all born in Australia subject to Australian laws and Justice.

The media is responsible for rewriting our History and promoting division in society. Foxy is a Marxist revisionist.

Dear Foxy

I agree with many of your statements:

eg.

1. Change our National Anthem to "We are one and we are many". Thereby getting rid of the lamentable Girt Song "Advance Australia
Fair,"

2. and I particularly agree with your earlier exortation of white benevolence:

"The wonderful sense of national unity that white men brought to Australia"

and I add:

3. Also whites have lifted the average Aboriginal life expectancy from an estimated 30 years pre-whites:

due to Aboriginal

- warfare

- "pointing the bone" psychological torture, then death

- starvation and infant mortality in times of severe drought

- low standard of indigenous invented health,

- low quality food (eg. yams)

- inefficient (no bow and arrow) hunting practices, need to follow slightly speared roos for 2-3 days etc

+++++++++++++

to an average of 73 years in 2021 due to:

- a vastly higher standard of living (compared to pre-white bark humpies)

- white invented healthcare, and

- modern policing replacing inter-tribal warfare

There you have it Foxy.

Cheers Mavs
